SIX MONTHS IN THE YEAR.

a number OF the exchanges of the
TINES are discussing with no little
zeal the latter part of article 10, sec.
tion 3, of the State Constitution
which reads ''There shall be kept open
at least SIX months in each year one
or more schools in each School Dis.
trict. The position is plausible, and
is held by several in other counties
differently situated than this, that the
constitution is mandatory and requires
the Superintendent of Education to
comply with its directions by reduc-
ing the salaries ofteschers. In Clar-
endon, tie price paid to frst-class
teachers is $50, and the average length
of the schools is about two months to
the yeac: BY making the term six
months, tie teachers salaries would
have to be reduced to S. per month.
Its destructive effect on the public
school system Of this county is too ap-
parent to describe. The remarks Of
the Colu1ahS .2ecord on this point, in
reply to the Neyberry Observer, strikes
us as being a very intelligent construc-
f1on of the clause of the constitution
referred to. The Record says:
<Gf we understand correctly, the
point made by the Observer was that
since the appropriation is limited to
two mills By the Constitution, and
slcce the school term is fixed at six
months, it is obligatory upon the
State Superintendent to keep the
schools open for this period on this
smount OF money by reducing the sal-
aries of teachers.
The Constitution plainly gives the
Legislature power to increase the levy
TO any amount; and therefore the
school au horities are not compelled
to make bricks without straw. The
object OF the constitutional amend
ment was to fix the minimum tax, and
the inference is plain that as the
wealth OF the State increases, this levy
may be increased to meet the publsc
needs, and to run more than one
school in each district six months in
the year.

THEFARMERS' 'ENcAMPMENT

One of the latest devised plans
which is most conducive to the i'm
provement of the farmers of the State
is the proposed Interstate Farmers
Summer Encampment, appointed near
Spartanburg for August 2nd, 3rd, eth,
5th, and 9Th. It is the result of the
combined efforts of friends of asricul-
ture, and is under the auspices OF the
Patrons of Husbandry OF Alabama,
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina. The object of
the Encampment as stated in the pros
pectus ''is that the producing class.s
t'all over the country may meet &Snu-
<tally in friendly rivalry and competi-
''tion for the purpose of displaying
'wbat each has wrought during the
'year. Such gatherings are highly
beneficial, not only because they af-
"ford all an opportunity OF beholding
''what has been done, bat rather be-
s'cause it is amid such surroundings
s*that the tagging energies aud droop-
'ing aspirations OF the multitudes are
E'quickened into activity, and they re-
turn 10 the quiet of farm and shop
determined to equal, and if possible
Ssurpass the triumphs they have wit
messed" Several Encampmeuts have
been in operation in other States and
have proved most successful. The ex-
pensive grounds procEed are in a
most important city of the Piedmont
section; its health is unsurpassed and
Isl pleasant summer resort. Abun-
<lant accommodations will be prorid-
ed tor the large attendance expected
at moderate rates. Agricultural and
scentlnc addresses, by prominent
farmers, scientists, and statesmen, will
be delivered each and every day the
encampment is in session. From
every section specimens of mineral,
manufacture and farm products are
invited and requested to be put upon
exhibition. It Will be a memorablv
grand time for the farmers. All WHO
can should attend. For particulars

His Marriage Fee.

We have sometimes wondered if i
would rot be advantageous to minis.
ters II marriage fees were paid, not a
the time OF the wedding, but subse
quently,--say u month or two after
wards. In most instances, it is to be
presumed, the husband would by til,
time be II y state of mind to which
the most generous fee would seem
none too large. Possibly there might
be cases in which neither the bride
nor the groom would feel any graft
tude to the minister for having per,
formed the ceremony.
On the whole, therefore, clergymen
Will probably continue to reckon &
bird in the hand worth two in the
bush; especially in view of possible
exceptional casss,-lihe the following.

paper

try, away down in Iowa, one cold.
clustering day, to marry a young cou-
pie. After the ceremony, the elder

long enough to be sociable, and then
went away-as empty in purse as
when he came.

groom in the village, and after some
bemming and having, the latter said,

Allatoona, and then stopping again to cut
the wire, also endeavored to lift rail.
While we were snre TINT no train from
Big Shai9y could follow us, we wished
also 70 make 1t difficult Tor one from At
lanta, IL any should be sent from there, to
run fitpidiy; and what was OF equal inn
portance, ne did not wish the local freight
TO proceed southwark after we met IL, TO
be turned lack by any pursuers. A lifted
rail Ia allGGst sure 20 throw an unsuspect-
ing train from the track; aud we put such
an distraction before each train that we
met on il.is Journey. Yet the process OF
taking up rail, though we made much
of IL, waa far from easy with the imper-
feet tools we possessed. A single tool--a
bar constructed expressly for drawing out
spikeS--weuld have enabled us to battle all
pursuit But this we did not have, and
more than five minutes were consumed
for each rail taken up, in battering out
some spikes with our iron bar and after
ward prying the remainder loose with
handspikes and with the rail itself This
delay was OF no great Importance now,
for we had superfiuity of time; but in
the quick and terrible struggle further up
the road, when seconds were decisive, II
was far otherwise. The rails when lifted
were carried away with MS, and the break
thus left was for time barrier ito q
train not supplied with track laying tools
as absolute as burnt bridge. The feel.
ing of security after such obstruction was
very delightful and not unwarranted. In
no case did a pursuing train pass place
where we had torn up a rail in time to dc
us any damage.
There was an exultant sense of superb
ority VILE running along in the midst o.
our enemies in this manner, such as 6
man in balloon might feel while drift
ing over hostile camps, or o. sr the raging
waves OF the ocean. AS long as all is well
with his balloon the man need not care
what takes place In the world below; and
as long as o. : engine retained its power
and the track was clear before us, we
were in similar state of security. But
